Product Description

Walnut remedy will help if you face major life changes and are in need of some protection from the influence of others. Walnut is one of Edward Bach's Original Flower Remedies homoeopathically prepared from plant flower extract.

“For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions are tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm convictions or strong opinions of others. The remedy gives constancy and protection from outside influences.”Dr Edward Bach

Walnut Bach Flower Remedy is made from a A 5x (1:240) dilution of juglans regia (walnut) in a grape alcohol solution.

Dosage Guide

You can take the remedies in several ways, and the instructions here are designed to be easy to remember. Taking larger doses at one time doesn't have a stronger effect; but if you are going through a crisis you can take more frequent doses to get you through it..

Direct Method

You can also take remedies 'neat', without diluting them, by either applying to the tongue or applying directly to the skin, by rubbing onto the lips, behind the ears, or on the temples and wrists.

To make it easy to remember, you take the same number of drops when taking a neat stock remedy as you do when you are mixing remedies in a treatment bottle or glass of water: two drops, direct on the tongue.

If you are taking the the pre-mixed Rescue Remedy the dosage is four drops, again direct on the tongue.

In either case, repeat as necessary - for long-term treatments, at least four times a day.

The Glass Water method

For short-term moods and problems put two drops of each selected remedy in a glass of water. Sip as often as required until relief is obtained.

You can use this method for longer-term problems as well. Just sip from the glass throughout the day, at least four times a day - and keep the glass in the 'fridge or make up a fresh glass each day.

Mixing Bottles

For more chronic problems we recommend making up a mixing bottle, as it is cheaper and will make your precious stock remedies go further. Simply:

Add to the bottle two drops of each selected remedy (and/or four drops of the pre-mixed emergency / rescue formula)

Top the bottle up with still (i.e. not fizzy) mineral water

From this bottle take four drops, at least four times a day

According to Dr Bach you can combine up to 7 flower remedies in a mixing bottle. The mixing bottle can be bought by clicking here.

Mixing bottles will last two or three weeks if you keep them cool - in the fridge, for example. If that isn't possible - maybe you live somewhere warm or will be carrying the bottle around in your pocket - add a teaspoon of brandy to the treatment bottle before topping up with water. This will help keep the water from going off. If you don't want to use brandy, use cider vinegar or glycerine instead.

How to choose your Bach Flower Remedy

Because Dr Bach wanted his Bach Flower Remedies to be simple to use for everyone, you can select the correct Bach Flower Remedy without professional advice. Use our Remedy Chooser to help you select where you can also buy a personalised remedy, ready blended for your use.

Suppose you are suffering from asthma. There is no Bach remedy for asthma, since this is a physical complaint. So the first step is to forget about the physical problem.

You might start by thinking about the way you feel at the moment. Perhaps your son is about to start school and quite without cause you are frightened that he will be bullied. Red Chestnut is the remedy for the fear that something bad will happen to loved ones. Perhaps you have been working too hard and are exhausted: this would indicate the need for Olive.

Consider too how the asthma makes you feel emotionally. Do you feel frustrated, annoyed, resentful, discouraged, resigned about the situation? Are you always worrying over when the next attack will come? Do you always forget to take your inhaler out with you? Looking through the list of remedies, find the one that best matches how you feel.

You could also think about your basic personality. Perhaps you are someone who tends to be quiet, shy and timid. You get nervous about things like speaking in public and meeting new people. This might indicate that you are a Mimulus type. On the other hand, maybe you recognise yourself as a Vervain person, full of enthusiasm and energy, and committed to justice for others? Or you might be something of a loner, liking quiet pursuits and your own company, reserved and upright? That would be a Water Violet personality.

You can select up to six or seven different remedies in this way. Don't worry too much if you make a wrong selection, because if a remedy is not needed it will not do anything. Experience has shown, however, that too many remedies taken at one time are not as effective as a few well-chosen ones. This means that there is no point mixing all 38 together to zap everything at once!
